THE CAR-CHAIN PRANK,
sidney Cox Fined and Pat Under
Bonds.

The continued case Of Sidney Cox, a
Young man employed at the Danville
shops, and who lives in Manchester,
charged with being disorderly and un.
chaining street-car on the Richmond
and Manchester railway from its fasten-
ing at the corner of Ninth and Main
streets, was called in the Police Court
yesterday morning.
The driver testified that his car was
at the corner Of Ninth and Main streets
Saturday night waiting for passengers
from the Mozart Academy OF Music.
Forfy-thrce persons got on the car and
he discovered that he was short eight
fares. He refused to move off until the
fares had been paid. A disturbance
ensued, and threats were made against
him because he refused 10 start. During
the disturbance some one unlocked the
chain which is used to hold the cal
willie it is standing at the top of the
grade, and the car started down the
hill. Fortunately he succeeded II
stopping the car with the brake before
n had gone very far. The witness
could not say who did it. Other wit
nesses testified that Sidney Cox admit
ted to them that he kicked the chair
loose.
Justice Richardson imposed on Coz
fine of go, and required him to give
bond in the sum of $500 for his gooc
behavior for twelve months.

MEDALS FOR GOOD INDIANS.
An Interesting Relic i'm the Posses
sion of Mr. BouIware.

There is in the possession Of Aubin
l.. Roulware. Esq, whose wife is q
daughter of the late Hon. William Bal
lard Preston, and a granddaughter OF
James Patton Preston, Governor OF
Virginia. a very curious relic OF Co
lonial Virginia found in the quaint old
Preston seat" Smithfield," Mont
qomerv county, Va. 1t is an ornament
Of copper, heavily plated with gold.
From its shape, which is similar to
that of horses hoof, Mr.. Boulware
was inclined to conjecture that 1t
might have been one of the golden
borseshoes which Governor Spots
wood gave to his followers in his
famous tra-montane expedition, IN
l7l6. in corAmemoration of that
event. The ornament Is in length
about four and half inches,
and in breadth about three
inches. with holes in the upper ends,
doubtless for the insertion OF string
OF ribbon with which to suspend it from
the neck on the breast. Ii is engraved
ON the front with the monogram g. X.
(the two letters combined, the symbols
of Georpius Rex, surmounted by a
crown. and hanked on either side with
a leayed branch, the stems joining be-
meath.
1t NAV be assumed that il was de-
signed as breast plate and as token
of friendship from the colonists to the
Indians under their protection. 1t was
probably issued in the reign OF George
II.
These distinctions for the Indians in
amity with the whites, medals OF
badges, were early provided. 1t wss
enacted by the Virginia Assembly
| March, 166l-'62, "that badges (yizt),
silver plates, and copper plates, with the
names of the towne craven upon them,
be given to all adjacent kings within
our protection" (Henings Statutes,
IL, page l42.) An example OF thest
badges is in the cabinet of the Virgins
| Historical Society. II is of silver
oblong in shape, measuring one and
half inches one way by two the other
engraved with floral designs, and in
scribed, "Ye King of Patomecke." !
similar example, one presented "Y'
King of Pamunkie," is pictured ant
described in Willis's Current Notes
London, December, 1852, and in tn
American Historical and Literar.
Curiosities, Second Series, Plat
| xxx, is presented an engraving OF
silver frontlet, with the British arms
ETC., which once adorned the brow o
the "Queene OF Pamunkey." IN
French and Spanish were also in th
habit Of presenting these tokens Q
| friendship to their Indian allies, and th
! custom was continued by the Unite

GOING BEFORE BOND.
ANOTHER VIRGINIA PRrs0NZR CAB
RrgD TO BALTIMORE.
The Case Of the Rhiladelphia Drummer
Katz-Points to be Raised,
&C., &C., &c.

H. KaH. who is drummer Tor a
Philadelphia house, and who was ar
rested here for selling goods without a
license after tender of coupons, ap-
Piled to Judge Bond for a writ OF
habeas corpus, which was awarded
Thursday, returnable before him IN
Baltimore this morning.
The writ was served yesterday on Ser.
geant Smith, and last evening at GU
o'clock one of his deputies, with Mr.
Katz in custody, Mr.. Royal and Mr..
Sands, counsel for petitioner, and MIR.
w. r. Meredith, representing the State,
left for Baltimore, where the hearing
will take place to-day.
One point at issue is whether katz
had made tender of coupons in pay
ment of his taxes. The State officers
insist that his tender was forverification
only, whilst Katz's counsel say that 1t
WAS of no consequence how he made a
tender. so that he made it. but that IN
point Of fact he did make his tender out
right in payment. =.
Another point is to whether the peti,
toner rendered sufficient coupons and
money to pay his tax. There seems to
be evidence that he did not.
Katz had no license when he came
here from Lynchburg, where he had
made tender of coupons. Since he
reached this city he took out license
and paid for it In money.
1t would seem to be utterly useless to
carry this case before Judge Bond now,
| but there are certain questions which
the attorneys wish to have decided, anc
hence the hdbeds-coTiDus proceedings
were continued after the immediate ne
cessitv therefor had passed.

NINE HOURS A DAY.
The5Ourneymen Tinuers Adopt This
asa working Rule.

The first of this week each of the
EMPLOYING timers in the city received
a circular letter from the iourneymen of
that trade giving notice that from the
lst of May they will expect to work
only nine hours day, except Satur-
day, when they will only work eight
hours.
The circulars were issued under the
direction of the Timers Association, OF
which Mr.. Charles Burton is president
and Joseph Pizzini, Esq, secretary.
No complaint of wages is made, and
the iourneymen say this move is really
in the interest of the business, which
is dull and not at present rates very
profitable to the contractors. Their
view is that the contractors, with this
information before them, can secure
themselves against loss 10y making pro-
per contracts.
An employing timer was asked about
the matter by Dispatch reporter yes
terday afternoon. He said he had re-
ceived copy of the circular, but that
no action had been taken, nor had any
meeting been called. There is suffi
cient time, and during the period 3
meeting probably will be held, atwhicf
it will be determined whether or not
the orders on hand will justify accedlnG
to the demand. There is no doubttha'
the matter will be settled amicably.

A WATERY GRAVE.
Two Men Drowned Yesterday Near
the Sand-Bar.

A sad case of drowning occurred soon
after noon yesterday in James river just
off the sand-bar, which is few hun
dred feet below the foot of Seventeenth
street. Here the fatboats on which
sand is hauled from where it is dredged
from the channel of the stream further
down anchor and unload.
Peter Diggs and Spencer Giles, two
colored men employed by Mr.. William
Justis, were on one of these boats, which
was loaded quite heavily, and they had
gotten within about fifty yards OF the
shore. when the wind caused the boat to
careen TO one side and dip water, and
instantly she filled and sank.
The water where the boat sank Is not
deep. but the men, in trying to keep 1t
from sinking, ran to the end furthest
out inthe stream, and there, seeing that
nothing could be done to relieve the
situation, they jumped off where the
water is deep, and where at the time
the current was very strong. The wind
was blowing fercely and the waves
were very high, and neither OF them
were seen more.
About 6 o'clock yesterday evening
the body Of Peter Diggs was found
near where he was drowned.
The body of Spencer Giles has moi
been recovered.

LAURRL-sTRERT METHODIST.
SMALLPOX HOSPITAL SITE.
Motion for an Injunction Against
the city Heard by Judge
Wexford.

Judge Wexford, sitting in chambers
for the Circuit Court of Henrico coun-
ty. Yesterday heard argument on the
motion of the Board Of Supervisors OF
the county praying that an injunction
be granted restraining the city from
erecting smallpox hospital on the
Morris farm, three and a half miles
north af'the city, which was purchased
for that purpose. Major A. r. Court
new appeared rs counsel for the peti-
TONERS and City-Attorney G. V. Mere
dith represented the city. The case was
submitted, and Judge Wellford an.
nounced that he would render his de-
cision in few days.
The facts in this case are fresh IN the
minds of the readers of the Dispatch.
The City Council voted to buy thi:
property in January, 1886, and the
Mayor approved the resolution appro-
priatlng the money to pay for it few
days later. Just afterward the Legisla'
trre rednacted and amended the law re-
lating to the location of hospitals, so as
TO provide that when city or county
desires to locate hospital in another
county or corporation it must first OBJ
tain the consent of the proper author
ties so to do.
The point of controversy now is thai
the city claims that il established it
site before the passage of the new law
aud tba county on the other hand
claims that no site had been estab
lished; that the land had only beer
purchased with view to establish thu
hospital there. The matter was dis
cussed for nearly year between thu
Board of Supervisors and committee
from the City Council and the City At
torney, but they could not agree SO
was agreed that this suit should be IN
stituted.

Manehester Nergs Notes.

The fox hunt in Chesterfield Thurs
day, in which twenty-one gentlemen
from Richmond, this city, and Chester
field. and two ladies from the first
named place participated, was very
lively one. Miss Rives, Of Richmond,
was the one to reach the fox when
caught, and she was. according to the
huntsman's custom, given the brush.
Hands were engaged yesterday en-
closing the hole made by tearing down
the old frame house on Seventh street
between Porterand Perry in accordance
with a resolution adopted by the Coun-
Gil at its meeting Wednesday night.
This should be done III all cases where
houses are removed and dangerous pit
falls left.
The entertainments given at Cersley' s
Hall this week under the auspices ol
the Young ladies of the Bainbridge-
Street Baptist church were well-patro-
nized, and quite a neat sum was
realized.
While the proposition of the Old
Dominion Electric-Light and Power
Company is only TO furnish private
consumers, they will furnish street
lights if the Council shall see fit to es-
tablish them. The people rather hike
this idea and hope the Council will
see fit.
Messrs. j. W. Bronaugh, E. w.
Weisiger, j. II. Patterson, and A. L;
Snellings have gone to Cohoke pond
